So far, Playground Games seems to understand the assignment in rebooting one of Xbox's most beloved franchises.

Fable's long-awaited reboot marks Forza Horizon studio Playground Games' first foray into the action-RPG genre.

But unlike earlier games in the series, Albion is this time a proper, seamless open-world.
It's a great call!
